Two-faced or not, he certainly knows which side his bread is buttered. The pope is a gentleman, but he knows that he is old and has only a limited time to get things in order. His advantage over John Paul is that he has been able to look at the whole church from the vantage point of Rome. It probably took Pope John Paul five years before he saw how extensive the problems were, and he was focused on Poland. If he had n't been, then he might have taken on the Society of Jesus et al.
I actually chuckled when you said "bread is buttered", you'll be very suprised to see how fat he's gotten since being made a Bishop, he certainly knows how to eat.
Though it could be methane fumes.....
Let's just hope he's better for Cleveland that he was for the Priest, people and Parishes of Boston.
